Get It Together

Lyrics

[Verse 1: India.Arie] One shot to your heart without breaking your skin No one has the power to hurt you like your kin Kept it inside, didn't tell no one else Didn't even wanna admit it to yourself And now your chest burns and your back aches From 15 years of holding the pain And now you only have yourself to blame If you continue to live this way [Hook] Get it together You wanna heal your body Get it together You have to heal your heart Whatsoever you sow you will reap Get it together You can fly, fly [Verse 2: India.Arie] Dark future ahead of me That's what they said I'd be starving if I ate all the lies they fed 'Cause I've been redeemed from your anguish and pain A miracle child I'm floating on a cloud 'Cause the words that come from your mouth You're the first to hear Speak words of beauty and you will be there No matter what anybody says What matters the most is what you think of yourself [Hook] Get it together You wanna heal your body Get it together You have to heal your heart Whatsoever you sow you will reap Get it together [Bridge] The choice is yours No matter what it is To choose life is to choose to forgive You don't have to try To hurt him and break his pride To shake that weight off And you will be ready to fly [Verse 3: India.Arie] One shot to your heart without breaking your skin No one has the power to hurt you like your friends Thought it will never change but as time moved on That ugly duckling grew up to be a swan And now your chest burns and your back aches Because now the years are showing up on your face But you'll never be happy And you'll never be whole Until you see the beauty in growing old [Hook] Get it together You wanna heal your body Get it together You have to heal your heart Whatsoever you sow you will reap Get it together [Outro] You can fly, fly, fly, fly You can live or you can die You know that life is a choice you make You can give or you can take You can fly, fly, fly, fly You can fly, fly, fly, fly You can fly, fly, fly, fly You can fly, fly, fly, fly
